The sleepy town of Danville, Ky. was invaded by politicos and journalists of all types Thursday night, as Joe Biden and Paul Ryan sat for their only vice presidential debate. While there were no spontaneous invocations of children’s television shows or narcoleptic moderators this time, Twitter was still just as active — as millions of people watching at home sounded off with comedy and critiques. Naturally, Biden’s fiery tone and Ryan’s pointy hair were the most-mocked traits of the evening. Here are some of the best tweets from last night’s debate.

This is what news and reporting have come to in this country. Comments on blogs and tweets. Worthiness, accuracy, truthfulness is all out the door. It's the gotcha, cleverness that counts. And we wonder why our people are so miserably informed about the issues. I weep for the future

That was no debate. It was nothing less than a hatchet job orchestrated by the network and an utterly bias excuse for a moderator. I'm just sorry Ryan was as respectful as he was for that miserable excuse for a VP.

Yes, it is ridiculous for a moderator to try to get facts from a very "controlled" candidate. Why isn't "trust me" untl after the elections good enough? The right-wingers bristle at any attempt to pin down their candidates on their unworkale budget plans, And, how dare the vice-president point out the lies Ryan had told about never asking for stimulus money for his state when it is such a bad thing that didn't work? Was he telling the truth when his letter to Biden himself said he needed it because it would create jobs? Was he truthful when he said Romney's 47% remark was just a slip of the tongue and not a true glimpse of the real Romney among his rich, partisan friends? Both GOP candidates are complete hypocrites.
